Associate in Science or Associate in Applied Science

This program is designed to prepare individuals for entry-level supervisory positions in the maritime industry. It is a combination of the technical, management and general education courses needed to be a well-rounded supervisor. Also included is a cooperative work experience which is arranged through Atlantic Marine Inc./Atlantic Dry Dock.

NOTE: Students have two degree alternatives in this program: The associate in science (A.S.) and the associate in applied science (A.A.S.). If you intend to pursue further education at the university level, you should enroll in the A.S. option. If you intend to go directly to work after completing your associate’s degree, consider the A.A.S. While the A.A.S. will not provide you with the transfer benefits of the A.S., the A.A.S. will provide you with the skills required to begin working in the field immediately upon graduation. If you are unsure of which option is best for you, please see an advisor for further counseling.
